RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES

NOTE 7 – RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES

Since fiscal 2019, we executed under a plan to capture certain synergies and cost savings related to streamlining our global operations and sales organization, as well as rationalize certain leased properties that were not fully occupied. Our plan is aligned with our strategy to integrate the global sales organization and further outsource manufacturing functions in order to drive operational efficiency, increase supplier geographic diversity, and reduce operating expenses. To date, total restructuring charges were $15.0 million, comprised of $9.1 million in severance and employee related costs, and $5.9 million for vacant office and manufacturing facility space. Restructuring charges related to vacant office and manufacturing facility space were due primarily to the vacancy in Canton, Massachusetts of $3.3 million, which was sub-leased starting in May 2020. The anticipated rent payments for the ceased-use leased facilities will be made through December 2025. Substantially all charges related to severance and employee costs were under the Telematics Products and LoJack U.S. SVR Products reportable segments. As a result of the adoption of ASC 842, effective March 1, 2019, the balance of the restructuring liability related to certain facility leases has been reclassified as a reduction of the Operating lease right-of-use assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

For the three and nine months ended November 30, 2020, total restructuring charges were $0.1 million and $2.6 million, respectively. Total restructuring charges incurred to date in fiscal 2021 were comprised of $2.3 million in severance and employee related costs, which included $0.9 million stock-based compensation, and $0.3 million for vacant facilities. The restructuring liabilities related to personnel were included in Accrued payroll and employee benefits in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of November 30, 2020 and February 29, 2020.

 

The following table summarizes the charges resulting from the implementation of the restructuring plan (in thousands):

As described in Note 1, our Board of Directors approved a plan to commence the wind down of the LoJack U.S. SVR operations as the products and services currently provided no longer aligns with our core strategy. Currently, we expect to incur up to $2.0 million nonrecurring cash charge related to severance and personnel costs in the fourth quarter. Additionally, we expect that we will incur contract termination and other related costs as we proceed with the wind down, which we are unable to estimate at this time.
